Of these the Volante only did not start. The rest took up the moorings assigned to them, and with mainsails loose and headsails down awaited the signal, At 10 a.m. the preparatory gun was fired, and the signal made to first proceed to the eastward, the course being better known as the Victoria course; from off Ryde pier by the Noman and Warner to the Nab lightvessel, thence westward to the buoy of the Middle off Cowes Roads, and thence in to the starting post off Ryde pierhead, twice round. The Nab lightship and the west buoy of the Middle to be left on the port hand. On the signal being given from the starting gun, the Albertine, Emily, Marina, and Galatea were first away, and running to the eastward before a strong westerly gale, in the order in whi2.ll they aro named, skirting the edge of the Ryde Sands for the Noman. About three cables' length astern next came the Amulet, followed closely by the Aline, Madcap, Audax, and Columbine. Next followed, at some distance and by themselves, the Osprey and Columbine, and at a still greater distance and astern of all, the whipper-in of the fleet, the new cutter Alerte, which had lain for some time in a most nnaccountable manner with her jib sheet off slack and her main sheet taut in before filling and joining in the race. In nearing the Nab she housed her topmast, and those sailing her evidently thought she would stand up none too stiff un , ler her canvas when she felt the full force of the breeze in reaching back to the westward. There ws but little time to notice the bearing of the several yachts in the run down, for the Nab Light vessel was soon reached and jibed round on the port hand by the respective yachts in the following order and times : M. S Aline Albert lac (I.lfttea H. M. S. Audax lO 39 5 Columbiuo Amulet aTrey lO 40 5 Alert /slarinn The City of Washington has arrived oat. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Madcap _ . Emily The Alert, what with her loss of time in starting, and in the run down to the Nab, was plaocd 9 min. 13 sec. behind the leading vessel at the time she jibed round the lightship. In standing up for the Noman from the Nab the Aline housed her topmasts, the Albertine for some time keeping her jibheaded maintopsail set, as also did the Galatea. Lord Londesborough's schooner, on pas-ing the Warner, was hanging on close in the wake of the commodore's Aline, with Mr Broadwood's famous Galatea a good third, the Marina cutter leading the remainder of the competing ves sels at nearly a mile astern of the Galatea, and drawing ahead into a good fourth place with the schooners had there been any chance of working down the west part of the course by short tacks. The wind was W.S.W. out in the open by the Nab light vessel, but inside the Warner light it was as nearly due W. as was possible, and the schooners had it in their power to make one leg down, and then by a short tack weather the west buoy—the extreme west point of the course. Under these circumstances the cutters stood but a small chance, especially as the wind was fresh ening., and it evidently became "all Lombard-street to a China orange" on the schooners. The Noman was passed in reaching up from the Nab thus : H. M. s. Aline Albertine lO 54 50 Galatea Marina Madcap Emily As the three schooners led 'the way past the Sturbridge, the Albertine had followed the example of her leader in send ing down her maintopsail and housing her topmast to enable her the better to meet the squall which was probably about to burst out from the darkness looming up westward. The Aline, with her powerful hull, carried her canvas on a more upright keel than did either of her two accompanying rivals, and evidently fared much better in the fierce squalls which every now and then swept across, than did any other craft in the race. As the three leading schooners reached down through Stokes Bay with their white canvas gleaming out sharply against the darkness of the coast line and atmosphere, they formed a really beautiful and effective marine picture. The Marina cutter followed into the bay under her whole mainsail, foresail, working jib and jib-headed topsail, and was about the only cutter that carried her canvas otherwise than on the broadside. No cutter could have stood up under sail in a strong wind better than the Marina did yesterday ; but, the race was for the schooners. A short distance astern of the Marina came the Madcap, carrying both her topsails, and about three or four cables astern of Madcap came Audax with Columbine, Osprey, Amulet, Emily and Alberto in her wake. The Au dax's star was paling before the performance of the Marina, while others of the cutters with their topsails rent on deck, and a reef in their mainsail showed they had got as much as they could carry, and were altogether overpowered by their large competitors, owing to the force and position of the wind. The North Star about this time gave up and hauled down her flag. At 11 30 the Galatea's mainsail came down by the run, the throat halliards having appa rently given way, and she lay thus partially crippled for some considerable time and lost all chance of the prize, the contest for which now really lay between the Commodore Thelluson's Aline and Lord Londesborough's Albertine. The latter kept her reach for the west buoy of the Middle, the eastern extremity of the course, while the Aline, from some undiscoverable cause, kept more away, and:went about, at 11h. 45m., having apparently mistaken the course. The Albertine went about three minutes after the Aline, both standing for the buoy of the Middle. This was rounded as follows by the leading vessels, the Albertine taking the lead from the commodore : x. M. S. Auclax ll 330 Columbine 11 335 Amulet ..

The cutters, headed by the gallant Marina, were doing their best, but the race now lay solely between the Aline and Albeit.. tine (the Galatea being thrown out of any chanea..of winning by her mishap in the first round), and although the Aline, by her great power, still zuaintained the lead over Lord Londesborough's schooner, yet the latter, as this two alload and apart frcm all others struggled wi.tward through the freshening gale, worthily maintained her reputation as one of the fastest schooner yachts afloat.

But now all that is lost, and the German frontier is pushed right up to Ribe and Kolding. All who know the state of the country and the forces which are at work, fear the worst for Denmark from the loss of this piece of territory. The Germans have won Schleswig so easily that their ambition will be roused to obtain something more. The same social and industrial aggression which has made them increase and multiply and fill the Duchy of Schles wig will lead them into Jutiand, where the Danish population, isolated and discouraged, will probably offer but a feeble resistance to the energetic in vaders. There is now a general tendency in Ger many to look upon the whole of Continental Den mark as the rightful inheritance of the Confedera tion, and the theories and aspirations of the stronger are always likely to fulfil themselvess. Denmark, we fear, can nowco unt upon b e i ng not hi ng more than the islands; and th ese i s l an d s are now wholly at the mercy of Germany, which can march into Funen over pontoons. and utilise its new port Kiel for the invasion of Zealand. How different would the fate of the Kingdom have been had the Cnh Government chosen to come to terms monthstwo o heagn e agol.what has Bishop Monrad gained in reputation by his obstinacy, what has the nation gained by suffering him and those of the same cast of mind to dictate its policy ? The pre sent Government is said to consist of reactionary politicians. The chiefs are old men ; their traditions are such as might conciliate a Bismark, and they may be contrasted unfavourably with the more Liberal Ministries they have succeeded. But, if real service to the country is the test of states manship, Count Moltke and his colleagues deserve better of Denmark than the men who could make ' neither war nor pence, and can now only lament over the calamities brought by the one and the con cessions which are at last the price of the other. All is, however, over, and Denmark must look to the future—a future destined, perhaps, to be made remarkable by a close connection between the diminished kingdom and the race which has parti tioned it. But whether these islands and this unfertile and sandy tract tend to union with Ger many or with Sweden, it is plain that theycan only lose in power and fame by being subject again to the fancies of a headstrong politician. HERALD.—It is now a good many years since Captain Warner proclaimed himself the inventor of a " long range" missile and an " invisible shell," whereby the art of naval warfare was to be revolu • tionised. The ingenious operator, who kept his in ' ventions a profound secret, gave some evidence of their power by blowing to atoms a vessel which was moared for the purpose off Brighton. Captain • Warner, we presume, is now dead, and his inven• tions are buried with him, bat his favourite mode of warfare is by no means gone out of the world ; and it seems quite possible that the principle in volved in his system will soon take a somewhat cenepienous place in modern tactics. There is little apparent difference between the so-called " invisible shell" and the American "torpedo." Midway be tween the two we find the torpedoes of the Bettie, laid down by Russia at the outbreak of the recent war in which our arms were engaged. Sir Charles Napier, with his coarse raillery, had ridiculed the idea of the invisible shell; but it became his fate to venture into the vicinity of the submarine en gines provided for the defence of the Russo-Baltic waters, and had he attempted to force the passage into Cronstadt the gallant admiral would probably have found that these aquatic mines were not to be despised. But Sir Charles kept outside the range of the granite batteries, and nearly all the torpedoes remained quietly where they were placed. One or two exceptions occurred. A torpedo was picked up by one of the vessels, and overhauled on t), , quarter-deck, where it unfortunately exploded while undergoing the process of examination, and the eye of a vice admiral was blown out thereby. Another of these submarine engines—or a couple of them—exploded by one of her Msjesty'e ships, and created considerable havoc in the steward's depart ment. But no great catastrophe occurred, and the torpedoes failed to prevent " Old Charley" from making thesomewhat unusual bJast,thaLhe brought his fleet home uninjured by the fortune of war. A restless, inventive, and, we may say, a war like people, are doing their best to turn this and every possible contrivance to account, in the grand work of human destruntion. The American war has developed the monitor, and seems likely to make something out of the torpedo. The belligerents have not been content merely to sink explosive oases— after the manner of the Russians—but have given w i ng s or fins to the lurking volcano, and in fact have created a sort of submarine fireship. In this way the Confederates d es t roye d the F edera l s l oop of war Housatonic, as she lay off Charleston, on the 14th of February last. At, attempt was made to blow up the Federal steamship 'Wabash in the same manner on the 19th of April. This vessel was at anchor off Charleston bar at ten o'clock at night, when a rebel torpedo boat was distinctly seen about a hundred yards astern approaching the ship's star beard quarter .against wind an d tide. Th e W a b as h The latter carr . ied , no guns and was almost under wa sa water, being giant inl Sias e t comparedscreely ee visibleith h her assailant. e e ptto a watchful and somewhat practi se d eye. B u t no sooner was the Federal ship aware that this veritable sea serpent was close at hand than the Wabash slipped her cable, and word was given to the engineer to "go ahead. Th e ship fired h er n ine inch gun s with great rapidity , but scampered off as fast as she " co uld all the time, and made signals for assistance. The torpedo boat hunted h er closely, d esp i te the s h o wer of big • shot, but could not succeed in getting under her side or count er . Two other vessels came to the rescue, and the assa i lant disappeared, appa rently uninj ▪ ured. by the h urried discharges which had been fired from the Fed era l cruisers, The history of this incident sufficiently shows that the blockading squadron h ad a whole some dread of the de s cr iption of warfare to which they were thus exposed. We also find that on the 6th of May a F e d eral gun b oat was bl own u p in the James River by a torpedo, it being apparently only. n ecessary that the blow should be well planteu , t n order to secure the de struction of the vessel attacked. We have some aecouet of the torpedo apart from its marine con- Thus, we are veyance. t old th a t on the 26th o f May a train was conveying a number of troops and four torpedoes from Newb orn to a point in West C aro li na , where it was intended that the latter should be used "to complete the blockade of the Neuse River in the direction of Kingston." The last of the four torpedoes Was about reaching the station platform when an accidental blow from a log of wood fell upon the cap and exploded the machine. The account states--,‘ The concussion was so great that the other three followed on the explosion of the fir.t,. and so ; c la.ck as to make but one mighty report, like the crash of a thousand • es of artillery fired. piecsimultaneously," The nar rative reads almost like a fable. Heads, bodies, and limbs are said to have been scattered for a quarter of a mile around. The signal tower and a commissary building, 20 feet by 80 feet, built of logs, were blows through the air st distance of 800 feet. The country round for a considerable area was strewed with fragments, an d 40 soldiers and negrees were killed. Such de struction, if cor rectly reported, indicates enormous power in these infernal machines, and shows the. peril which be sets every vessel exposed to this descripti o n o f warfare. But we have indications nearer home of what may be expected , from the u se of gunpowder on the " undermining ' principle, if such a term may be applied to naval tactics . L ast week the Lords of the Admi ralty witnessed some experi ments in the way of submarine explosions in the neighbourhood of Pembroke Dockyard, the site selected being a submerged rock in the o ffi eg , known as the Prince Consort's Ro c k, t h e sh i p ot that name having struck on it in th e course of last year. The Admiralty yacht Osborne took up a position about two hundred yards from the rock, and we are toid that two explosions, were fired with great snores , at a signal from one of the en• gineers who had charge of the proceedings. The effect is described as being very r emarkable, an im mense mass of several thousand tons o f water and stones being heaved up, towering as high as the masthead of the Osborne. T housands offish, includ ing salmon, congers, &e., were afterwards found floating dead on the surface of the w a t er. Not only did the Osborne vibrate with the v i o l ence of the shock, but a sensible affect was p ro d uced on the Blenheim and Saturn, which were More remote from the scene. Even on shore, and toe great distance, the explosion was sensibly felt, and it was evident that an immense power was thus exercised, without the aid of any artillery properly so called. The employment of submarine explosions in :naval war fare may evidently be accomplisned by two different modes, if not by more. Caissons filled with gun• powder may be sunk in narrow channels—as at the mouths of rivers, creeks, and harbours—and be made to explode by percussion at the moment a vessel is attempting to pass over them. Or the application may be made on a locomotive principle, as in the case of the Americal torpedo boats, which are said to carry a sort of immersed ram, which, like a gigantic sting, plants the fiery compound in the hull of the ship far below the orate-line, and leaves it there to explode. Gunpowder discharged under such circumstances will shake a vessel from stem to stern, and will most likely rend her to pieces. If this mode of warfare can be carried out it will go ill with vessels which have armoured sides and wooden bottoms, and, perhaps, in the destruc tive freaks of these modern torpedoes, we see the germ of another " reconstruction of the navy."

The Huntingdonshire Stakes (Handicap) of 80 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 15 OM each, 5 ft, and 3 if declared ; SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, TlMES.—Since the days when the First Napoleon scattered armies and dated proclamations from fallen capitals no more merciless conditions have been im posed on a conquered enemy than those contained in the preliminaries of pewee between the German Powers and Denmark, and in the arrangesnents with respect to the F:rmistice which is to be observed till the conclusion of a definitive treaty. Denmark yields everything. The King renounces his rights to Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg in favour of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Empe ror of Austria, and he engages to recognise the ar rangements their said Majesties shall make in re spect of these Duchies. By these expressions the two victorious Sovereigns at once fulfil their old en gagement to recognise King Christian es the Sove reign of the whole kingdom, and they exclude the L&iet from any control even of the Duchy which is now occupied by Federal troops. Instead of the King of Denmark being made to acknowledge that he had no rightful claim to Schleswig or Holstein, his former title to them is allowed, in order that he may make them over to the actual belligerents as the prize of war. It certainly makes but little prac tical difference to Denmark what may be the fate and who may be the rulers of the ceded territory; but the fact that it has been torn by force from the old Government is even more conspicuous in the present language of the treaty than if the right of the German Confederation to control the succession had been formally recognised. The islands usually held to be part of Schleswig follows that Duchy in the separation. Not only does Alsen become Ger man, but also the large islands on the western coast which were formerly looked upon as wholly or in part belonging to Jutland. These are Atnrom, Fohr, Salt, and Romo. In compensation the Danes acquire a little strip of land on the bor der, forming part of the district of Ribe on the west and Kolding on the east. The arrangements concerning the debts and loans are not objectionable, but the stipulations as to the support of the Prussian army in Jutland, which is to be held till the definitive treaty of peace is signed, are most onerous for Denmark, and betray on the part of the allies an unworthy desire to make their enemy drink the cup of humiliation to the dregs. The levy of contributions is of course suspended, but the provisions for the allied troops will be fur nished at the expense of Jutland conformably with the Prussian and Aust r i an regulations. " The lodging of the troops and officials connected with the army, as well as the means of transport for the use of the army, shall equally be furnished at the expense of Jutland." The surplus of the ordinary revenue of Jutland after these expenses are paid will be returned to the Danish Government. We may be sure that it will be no very formidable sum. When it is considered that these conditions have been acceded to in about six weeks from the breaking up of the London Conference, there need be no other proof that the policy of Denmark in repelling' the advice of its friends, and entering again,unaided, on the contest with Germany, was unwise in con. ception, and has been fatal in result Nothing, indeed, could ho less in accordance with the defiant tone used a few weeks since by the Danish Envoys at the Conference than the language of the King in the speech he has just addressed to the Rigsdag. He confesses that the courage of his fleets and armies has been in vain, and that, though the people have made every sacrifice for the country, yet resistance to superior force has been impracticable, for, as Europe has left the Danes without assistance, " we have seen ourselves forced to yield to numbers, and to endeavour to terminate a war the continuance of which, under existing circumstances, would only occasion our beloved country greater losses and misfortunes, without holding oat the prospect of any improvement." This is an acknowledgement which naturally suggests to any one who has fol lowed the course of events the inquiry, " Why, then, did Denmark engage in this new campaign and tempt there new aggressions, so as to end in such grievous humiliation ? " Without wishing to add to the sufferings of the Danish people by one word of reproach, we must yet, in reply to the general complaints they are making against England, remind them of the differ ence between what the Conference might have given them and what they now retain. We admit that in playing a bold game, and standing up alone against the two Powers, in the hope that at last France or England would join them, they did not act without a certain show of reason. But it was the statesmanship of the gambler, and not of the patriot. Relying on the fallacious hope that popu lar feeling in England would force the Government to act on their side, or that the Opposition would save them by accession to power after a Parliamen.. tart' battle, or th at the ambition and pride of France would not permit Prussian aggrandisement, the mistaken Govern.ment of Copenhagen spurned the advice of this country and the concessions of its own enemies, refused a partition of Schleswig, re fused even a prolonged armistice, and brought again on itself the fall force of the two great monarchies. T o appreciate the value of the Conference, and the advantage of the terms whi c h t h e Danes might have obtained by it, it is only necessary to call to mind that on the 2d June the allies, after having claimed the whole of the Duchies with entire independence of Denmark and the right of establishing a new succession, so far. withdrew from these pretensions as to propose a boundary line which would have g iven Denmark at least two-fifths of Schleswig.
